It was Mexico that kept me out of the Draft

And that was during the Vietnam War. Ingrate that I am, I have never even written to thank them.

The Mexican drug lords are more gracious (in fact, Mexicans are generally more gracious about most things than Yankees). Here's one thanking our lawmakers:

"Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman Loera reported head of the Sinaloa cartel in Mexico, ranked 701st on Forbes' yearly report of the wealthiest men alive, and worth an estimated $1 billion, today officially thanked United States politicians for making sure that drugs remain illegal. According to one of his closest confidants, he said, 'I couldn't have gotten so stinking rich without George Bush, George Bush Jr., Ronald Reagan, even El Presidente Obama, none of them have the cajones to stand up to all the big money that wants to keep this stuff illegal. From the bottom of my heart, I want to say, Gracias amigos, I owe my whole empire to you.'"

You're welcome.

we'll, for a ruthless murderer and pusher, you can't say he isn't honest. Once.
